However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

3.STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans – In July 2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan was effective in July 2003 and expired in July 2013. Accordingly, no further option awards may be granted under the 2003 Plan; however, any awards granted prior to their respective expiration dates remain outstanding subject to their terms. Each option granted under the 2003 Plan has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant, a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five years.

In July 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved the Riverview Bancorp, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company has reserved 1,800,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The 2003 Plan and the 2017 Plan are collectively referred to as “the Stock Option Plans”.

During both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Trust Company incurred $11,000 and $33,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to these options.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined based on historical experience with similar options, giving consideration toconsidering the contractual terms and vesting schedules. Expected volatility is estimated at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market value of the

7

Company’s common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. There were no stock options granted under the 2017 Stock Option Plan during the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and 2018.

4.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Nonvested shares of restricted stock are included in the computation of basic EPS because the holder has voting rights and shares in non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company’s common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and assumed vesting of restricted stock.options. For the three and ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, there were no stock options excluded in computing diluted EPS.

In February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program (the “repurchase program”). Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market based on prevailing market prices, or in private negotiated transactions, during the period from March 12, 2020 until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock or the next six months, depending on market conditions. As of April 17, 2020, the Company had repurchased the 500,000 shares under the repurchase program at an average price of $4.89 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 or any interim period within that fiscal year.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment securities were primarily attributable to increases in market interest rates subsequent to their purchase by the Company. The Company expects the fair value of these securities to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates or sooner if market yields for such securities decline. The Company does not believe that these securities are other than temporarily impaired because of their credit quality or related to any issuer or industry specific event. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the investments until the fair value recovers. Based on management’s evaluation and intent, the unrealized losses related to the investment securities in the above tables are considered temporary.

Proceeds from the sale of investment securities totaled $17.8 million for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. Net realized gains on sales of investment securities totaled $30,000 for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. The Company had no sales and realized no gains or losses on sales of investment securities for both the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018.September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Company considers its loan portfolio to have very little exposure to sub-prime mortgage loans since the Company has not historically engaged in this type of lending. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, loans carried at $471.6$516.2 million were pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) pursuant to borrowing agreements.

MostSubstantially all of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located in the states of Washington and Oregon. Loans and extensions of credit outstanding at one time to one borrower are generally limited by federal regulation to 15% of the Bank’s shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, the Bank had no loans to any one borrower in excess of the regulatory limit.

7.ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES


The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance is provided based upon management’s ongoing quarterly assessment of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions and a detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured. The detailed analysis includes techniques to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.

The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value (less estimated selling costs, if applicable) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.

The general component covers non-impaired loans based on the Company’s risk rating system and historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The Company calculates its historical loss rates using the average of the last four quarterly 24-month periods. The Company calculates and applies its historical loss rates by individual loan types in its loan portfolio. These historical loss rates are adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that the Company believes have resulted in incurred losses that have not yet been allocated to specific elements of the general and specific components of the allowance for loan losses. Such factors include uncertainties in economic conditions, uncertainties in identifying triggering events that directly correlate to subsequent loss rates, changes in appraised value of underlying collateral, risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors and historical loss experience data that may not precisely correspond to the current loan portfolio or economic conditions. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the loan portfolio. The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by the Company as of the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements.

11

When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for loan losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Company has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; and/or the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance, and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement.

Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Loss factors are based on the Company’s historical loss experience with additional consideration and adjustments made for changes in economic conditions, changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency rates, changes in collateral values, seasoning of the loan portfolio, duration of the current business cycle, a detailed analysis of impaired loans and other factors as deemed appropriate. These factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loss rates used by the Company are affected as changes in these factors increase or decrease from quarter to quarter. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Non-accrual loans:  Loans are reviewed regularly and it is the Company’s general policy that a loan is past due when it is 30 to 89 days delinquent. In general, when a loan is 90 days delinquent or when collection of principal or interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status, at which time the accrual of interest ceases and a reserve for unrecoverable accrued interest is established and charged against operations. As a general practice, payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance on a cost recovery method. Also, as a general practice, a loan is not removed from non-accrual status until all delinquent principal, interest and late fees have been brought current and the borrower has demonstrated a history of performance based upon the contractual terms of the note. A history of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of ninesix months. Interest income foregone on non-accrual loans was $57,000$35,000 and $75,000$37,000 for the ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Credit quality indicators: The Company monitors credit risk in its loan portfolio using a risk rating system (on a scale of one to nine) for all commercial (non-consumer) loans. The risk rating system is a measure of the credit risk of the borrower based on their historical, current and anticipated future financial characteristics. The Company assigns a risk rating to each commercial loan at origination and subsequently updates these ratings, as necessary, so that the risk rating continues to

13
reflect the appropriate risk characteristics of the loan. Application of appropriate risk ratings is key to management of loan portfolio risk. In determining the appropriate risk rating, the Company considers the following factors: delinquency, payment history, quality of management, liquidity, leverage, earnings trends, alternative funding sources, geographic risk, industry risk, cash flow adequacy, account practices, asset protection and extraordinary risks. Consumer loans, including custom construction loans, are not assigned a risk rating but rather are grouped into homogeneous pools with similar risk characteristics. When a consumer loan is delinquent 90 days, it is placed on non-accrual status and assigned a substandard risk rating. Loss factors are assigned to each risk rating and homogeneous pool based on historical loss experience for similar loans. This historical loss experience is adjusted for qualitative factors that are likely to cause the estimated credit losses to differ from the Company’s historical loss experience. The Company uses these loss factors to estimate the general component of its allowance for loan losses.

Pass – These loans have a risk rating between 1 and 4 and are to borrowers that meet normal credit standards. Any deficiencies in satisfactory asset quality, liquidity, debt servicing capacity and coverage are offset by strengths in other areas. The borrower currently has the capacity to perform according to the loan terms. Any concerns about risk factors such as stability of margins, stability of cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product/supplier/customer, depth of management, etc. are offset by strengths in other areas. Typically, these loans are secured by the operating assets of the borrower and/or real estate. The borrower’s management is considered competent. The borrower has the ability to repay the debt in the normal course of business.

Watch – These loans have a risk rating of 5 and are included in the “pass” rating. However, there would typically be some reason for additional management oversight, such as the borrower’s recent financial setbacks and/or deteriorating financial position, industry concerns and failure to perform on other borrowing obligations. Loans with this rating are monitored closely in an effort to correct deficiencies.

Special mention – These loans have a risk rating of 6 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. These loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the credit position at some future date. These loans pose elevated risk but their weakness does not yet justify a “substandard” classification.

Substandard – These loans have a risk rating of 7 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest may or may not be discontinued. By definition under regulatory guidelines, a “substandard” loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely but not yet certain. Repayment of such loans is likely to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment, or an event outside of the normal course of business.

Doubtful – These loans have a risk rating of 8 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and repayment may be dependent upon collateral which has value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty.


14

Loss – These loans have a risk rating of 9 and are rated in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt.

Impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”): A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Typically, factors used in determining if a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, whether the loan is 90 days or more delinquent, internally designated as substandard or worse, on non-accrual status or represents a TDR. The majority of the Company’s impaired loans are considered collateral dependent. When a loan is considered collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the estimated value of the underlying collateral, less any prior liens, and when applicable, less estimated selling costs. For impaired loans that are not collateral dependent, impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. When the estimated net realizable value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment is recognized by adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to the initial allocation of allowance to the individual loan, the Company may conclude that it is appropriate to record a charge-off of the impaired portion of the loan. When a charge-off is recorded, the loan balance is reduced and the specific allowance is eliminated. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is initially measured for impairment and has not had an appraisal of the collateral in the last ninesix months, the Company obtains an updated market valuation. Subsequently, the Company generally obtains an updated market valuation of the collateral on an annual basis. The collateral valuation may occur more frequently if the Company determines that there is an indication that the market value may have declined.

The cash basis interest income on impaired loans was not materially different than the interest recognized on impaired loans as shown in the above tables.

TDRs are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, and/or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk. TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, impairment is measured as described for impaired loans above.

The following table presents TDRs by interest accrual status at the dates indicated (in thousands):

At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds on TDR loans. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, all of the Company’s TDRs were paying as agreed except for one commercial real estate loan of $851,000 which is classified as nonaccrual.for $851,000.

There were no new TDRs for the three months ended December 31, 2019. There was one new TDR for the ninethree and six months ended December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020. The new TDR is a consumer real estate loan secured by a 1-4one-to-four family property located in Northwest Oregon whereby the Company granted a three month payment deferral which extended the maturity date by three months. The recorded investment in the loan prior to modification and at September 30, 2020 was $129,000. There was one new TDR for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019. This TDR is a consumer real estate loan secured by a one-to-four family property located in Southwest Washington, whereby the Company granted a rate reduction to market interest rates and extended the maturity date by 10 years. The recorded investment in the loan prior to modification and at December 31,September 30, 2019 was $27,000 and $25,000,$26,000, respectively. There were no new TDRs

In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act and related regulatory guidance provides that a short-term modification made in response to COVID-19 and which meets certain criteria does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Accordingly, the threeCompany does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. For additional information on these loan modifications, see Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncements and nine months ended December 31, 2018.“Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Recent Developments Related to COVID-19-Loan Modifications.”

In accordance with the Company’s policy guidelines, unsecured loans are generally charged-off when no payments have been received for three consecutive months unless an alternative action plan is in effect. Consumer installment loans delinquent six months or more that have not received at least 75% of their required monthly payment in the last 90 days are charged-off. In addition, loans discharged in bankruptcy proceedings are charged-off. Loans under bankruptcy protection with no payments received for four consecutive months are charged-off. The outstanding balance of a secured loan that is in excess of the net realizable value is generally charged-off if no payments are received for four to five consecutive months. However, charge-offs are postponed if alternative proposals to restructure, obtain additional guarantors, obtain additional assets as collateral or a potential sale of the underlying collateral would result in full repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Once any other potential sources of repayment are exhausted, the impaired portion of the loan is charged-off. Regardless of whether a loan is unsecured or collateralized, once an amount is determined to be a confirmed loan loss it is promptly charged off.

8.GOODWILL

Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives generated from business combinations are not subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment not less than annually. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company’s goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit.

The Company performed an impairment assessment as of October 31, 2019 and determined that no impairment of goodwill exists. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company would be required to progress to the second step. In the second step, the Company calculates the implied fair value of goodwill and compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination. The results of the Company’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value, and, therefore, a step two analysis was not required; however, no assurance can be given that the Company’s goodwill will not be written down in future periods.

9.     FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCESAs a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the financial markets and economy, the Company completed a qualitative assessment of goodwill as of September 30, 2020, and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Bank (the reporting unit), exceeds its carrying value. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in the Company’s common stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were sustained in the future rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of the reporting unit and may trigger future goodwill impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

10.JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts that were established for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and common securities. The trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in each trust agreement. The trusts used the net proceeds from each of the offerings to purchase a like amount of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the Debentures or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures governing the Debentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company also has the right to defer the payment of interest on each of the Debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters, provided that the deferral period does not extend beyond the stated maturity. During such deferral period, distributions on the corresponding trust preferred securities will also be deferred and the Company may not pay cash dividends to the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts, totaling $26.6$26.7 million at both December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, are reported as “junior subordinated debentures” in the consolidated balance sheets. The common securities issued by the grantor trusts were purchased by the Company, and the Company’s investment in the common securities of $836,000 at both December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company records interest expense on the Debentures in the consolidated statements of income.

11.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.  Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of three levels. These levels are:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Financial instruments are presented in the tables that follow by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, as a result of an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the consolidated financial statements at some time during the reporting period.

There were no transfers of assets into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and the year ended March 31, 2019.2020.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments above:

Investment securities are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy when quoted prices in an active market for identical assets are available. The Company uses a third-party pricing service to assist the Company in determining the fair value of its Level 2 securities, which incorporates pricing models and/or quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Investment securities are included within Level 3 of the hierarchy when there are significant unobservable inputs.

For Level 2 securities, the independent pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data from market research publications. The Company’s third-party pricing service has established processes for the Company to submit inquiries regarding the estimated fair value. In such cases, the Company’s third-party pricing service will review the inputs to the evaluation in light of any new market data presented by the Company. The Company’s third-party pricing service may then affirm the original estimated fair value or may update the evaluation on a go-forward basis.

Management reviews the pricing information received from the third-party pricing service through a combination of procedures that include an evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing service, analytical reviews and performance analysis of the prices against statistics and trends. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted. As necessary, management compares prices received from the pricing service to discounted cash flow models or by performing independent valuations of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing service in order to help ensure prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value.

In determining the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the Company primarily uses third-party appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration of variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions.

Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, the Company considers the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with GAAP. The Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value amounts. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data in the development of the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in the future. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

12.     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
12.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In FebruaryJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 created FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 ("ASC 842") related to leases and is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by ASU 2016-02 relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in this ASU provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt ASU 2016-02.  Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 utilizing the transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11 and will not restate comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842's transition guidance, which allows the Company to carryforward its historical lease classifications and its assessment as to whether a contract is or contains a lease. The Company also elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. See Note 15 for additional discussion.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) as amended by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred losses methodology for estimating allowances with a current expected credit losses methodology with respect to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held to maturity investment securities and off-balance sheet commitments. In addition, ASU 2016-13 requires credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction of carrying amount. ASU 2016-13 also changes the accounting for purchased credit impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 retains many of the current disclosure requirements in GAAP and expands certain disclosure requirements. As a Securities Exchange Commission smallerSEC “smaller reporting companycompany” filer, ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company is reviewing the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and has begun developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. At this time, management anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of ASU 2016-13; however, until itsmanagement’s evaluation is complete, the magnitude of the increase will not be known.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized

21
assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2022. Early application of ASU 2017-04 is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The following disclosure requirements were removed from ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement: (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. In addition, ASU 2018-13 adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 broaden the scope of ASC Subtopic 350-40 to include costs incurred to implement a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The costs are capitalized or expensed depending on the nature of the costs and the project stage during which they are incurred, consistent with the accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendments in ASU 2018-15 result in consistent capitalization of implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract and implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in ASU 2018-15. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplifysimplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing, certain exceptionsamong other things (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, and (2) the general principlesmethodology for calculating income taxes in ASC Topic 740.

ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. The Company’s current interest rates on its junior subordinated debentures are based upon the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted ASU 2020-04 as of September 30, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASU 2020-08”). ASU 2020-08 clarifies that the Company should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. ASU 2020-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2020-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.

The CARES Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, amended GAAP with respect to the modification of loans to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other criteria, this guidance provided that short-term loan modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. To qualify as an eligible loan under the CARES Act, a loan modification must be (1) related to COVID-19; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (a) 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency by the President or (b) December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s modifications totaled 13 loans related to the COVID-19 pandemic with an outstanding loan balance, net of deferred fees, totaling $49.7 million. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired.


13.REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

In accordance with ASC Topic 606 “Revenues from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when goods or services are transferred to the customer in exchange for the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive. The largest portion of the Company’s revenue is from interest income, which is not within the scope of ASC 606. All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income with the exception of gains on sales of REO, which are included in non-interest expense.income.

If a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation. Payments from customers are generally collected at the time services are rendered, monthly, or quarterly. For contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, revenue is either earned at a point in time or revenue is earned over time. Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are automated teller machine (“ATM”) transaction fees, wire transfer fees, overdraft fees and interchange fees. Revenue earned at a point in time is primarily based on the number and type of transactions that are generally derived from transactional information accumulated by the Company’s systems and is recognized immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer’s transaction. The

22
Company is generally the principal in these contracts, with the exception of interchangesinterchange fees, in which case the Company is acting as the agent and records revenue net of expenses paid to the principal. Examples of revenue earned over time, which generally occur on a monthly basis, are deposit account maintenance fees, investment advisory fees, merchant revenue, trust and investment management fees and safe deposit box fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by the Company’s systems or those of third-parties and is recognized as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.

Revenues recognized within scope of ASC 606

Asset management fees: Asset management fees are variable, since they are based on the underlying portfolio value, which is subject to market conditions and amounts invested by clients through the Trust Company. Asset management fees are recognized over the period that services are provided, and when the portfolio values are known or can be estimated at the end of each quarter.

Debit card and ATM fees: Debit card and ATM interchange income represents fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used. The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the MasterCard® payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders’ debit card. Certain expenses directly associated with the debit cards are recorded on a net basis with the interchange income.

Deposit related fees: Fees are earned on the Bank’s deposit accounts for various products offered to or services performed for the Bank’s customers. Fees include business account fees, non-sufficient fund fees, stop payment fees, wire services, safe deposit box and others. These fees are recognized on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the type of service.

Loan related fees: Non-interest loan fee income is earned on loans that the Bank services, excluding loans serviced for the FHLMC which are not within the scope of ASC 606. Loan related fees include prepayment fees, late charges, brokered loan fees, maintenance fees and others. These fees are recognized on a daily, monthly, quarterly or annual basis, depending on the type of service.

Other: Fees earned on other services, such as merchant services or occasional non-recurring type services, are recognized at the time of the event or the applicable billing cycle.

Contract Balances

As of December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had no significant contract liabilities where the Company had an obligation to transfer goods or services for which the Company had already received consideration. In addition, the Company had no material unsatisfied performance obligations as of this date.

14.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-balance sheet arrangements – In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to originate loans are conditional and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company’s usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments.


23

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances where the Company deems it necessary.

Significant off-balance sheet commitments at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 are listed below (in thousands):

Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit 126,465  121,298 
Total$155,756 $162,604 

At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had firmno commitments to sell $322,000 of residential loans to the FHLMC. Typically, these agreements are short-term fixed-rate commitments and no material gain or loss is likely.

Other Contractual Obligations – In connection with certain asset sales, the Company typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Company may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, loans under warranty totaled $103.0$82.9 million, which substantially represents the unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loans serviced for the FHLMC. At September 30, 2020, the Company had no commitments to sell residential loans to the FHLMC as the Company has transitioned to a model where mortgage loan originations are brokered to third-party mortgage companies. The Company believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had an allowance for FHLMC loans of $12,000.

The Bank is a public depository and, accordingly, accepts deposit and other public funds belonging to, or held for the benefit of, Washington and Oregon states, political subdivisions thereof, and municipal corporations. In accordance with applicable state law, in the event of default of a participating bank, all other participating banks in the state collectively assure that no loss of funds are suffered by any public depositor. Generally, in the event of default by a public depository, the assessment attributable to all public depositories is allocated on a pro rata basis in proportion to the maximum liability of each depository as it existed on the date of loss. The Company has not incurred any losses related to public depository funds for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and 2018.2019.

The Bank has entered into employment contracts with certain key employees, which provide for contingent payments subject to future events.

Litigation – The Company is periodically a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material effect, if any, on the Company’s future consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

15.LEASES

The Company has a finance lease for the shell of the building constructed as the Company's operations center which expires in November 2039. The Company is also obligated under various noncancelable operating lease agreements for land, buildings and equipment that require future minimum rental payments. For operating each lease, the Company records an operating lease right-of-use asset (representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term) and an operating lease liability (representing the obligation to make lease payments required under the terms of the lease). Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate – derived from information available at the lease commencement date – as the discount rate when determining the present value of lease payments. The Company does not have any operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Certain operating leases contain various provisions for increases in rental rates, based either on changes in the published Consumer Price Index or a predetermined escalation schedule. Certain operating leases provide the Company with the option to extend the lease term one or more times

24
following expiration of the initial term. Lease extensions are not reasonably certain and the Company generally does not recognizeinclude payments occurring during option periods in the calculation of its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company adopted the requirements of ASC Topic 842 effective April 1, 2019, which required the Company to record in the consolidated balance sheet an operating lease right-of-use assetassets and an operating lease liabilityliabilities for leases with an initial term of more than 12 months for leases that existed as of April 1, 2019. The periods prior to the date of adoption are accounted for under superseded ASC Topic 840; therefore, the following disclosures include only the period for which ASC Topic 842 was effective.

In March 2010, the Company sold two of its branch locations. The Company maintains a substantial continuing involvement in the locations through various non-cancellable operating leases that contain certain renewal options. The resulting gain on sale of $2.1 million was deferred and is being amortized over the lives of the respective leases. At December 31, 2019, the remaining deferred gain was $577,000 and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Recent Developments Related to COVID-19

The spread of the novel coronavirus of 2019 (“COVID-19”) and the ensuing pandemic has caused significant economic disruption throughout the global economy, including the states and municipalities which constitute the Company's market area. The potential future financial impact is unknown at this time. Prolonged economic disruption will likely affect the ability of the Company's customers to make timely payments on their loans. It may also have an adverse effect on the collateral values securing customers' loan obligations. This may negatively impact the Company's future operations, results of operations, and financial condition. In response to the current global situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is offering a variety of relief options designed to support our customers and the communities we serve.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation – The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under the PPP, a new loan program. The deadline for PPP loan applications was August 8, 2020. The goal of the PPP was to avoid as many layoffs as possible and to encourage small businesses to maintain payrolls. As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans upon commencement of the program in April 2020. Under terms of the PPP, all PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0% and (b) a two-year or five-year loan term to maturity. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA so long as employee and compensation levels of the borrower’s business are maintained and 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 40% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. The PPP loans that were originated consisted primarily of existing customers who are small to midsize businesses as well as independent contractors, sole proprietors, partnerships and not-for-profits as allowed under the PPP guidance. We began processing applications for PPP loan forgiveness during the second fiscal quarter of 2020 and will continue working with our customers to assist them with accessing other borrowing options, including SBA and other government sponsored lending programs, as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2020, the total outstanding loan balance and unamortized fees related to SBA PPP loans totaled $113.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, with an average loan amount of $147,000. There were no PPP loans approved awaiting funding as of September 30, 2020. In addition to the 1% interest earned on these loans, the SBA pays us fees for processing PPP loans in the following amounts: (i) five percent for loans of not more than $350,000; (ii) three percent for loans of more than $350,000 and less than $2,000,000; and one percent for loans of at least $2,000,000. We may not collect any fees from the loan applicants.

We may utilize the FRB's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), pursuant to which the Company will pledge its PPP loans at face value as collateral to obtain FRB non-recourse borrowings. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.

The Company is continuing to offer payment and financial relief programs for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. The Company has made available the following short-term relief option to all borrowers affected by COVID-19:

Interest only payments or full payment deferrals for up to 90 days upon request with an extension for another 90 days upon submission of specified documentation and recovery plans;
Loan re-amortization, especially in cases where significant prepayments of principal have occurred and to provide for continuing payment reduction at the end of the 180-day deferment period;
Covenant waivers and resets; and
Extension of up to six months on loans maturing prior to December 31, 2020.

All loans modified due to COVID-19 are separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approved payment deferrals for 13 commercial loans that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $49.7 million which consisted of deferral of regularly scheduled principal and interest payments which is a significant decrease compared to June 30, 2020 when the Company had 98 commercial loans totaling $161.6 million. In general, the payment deferral period for these loans was 90 days. In certain situations, depending on economic conditions, extensions to the initial payment deferral periods were necessary. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company approved three new payment deferrals for 90 days totaling $1.1 million. As of September 30, 2020, four consumer and mortgage loans totaling $471,000 were approved for payment deferrals which is a significant decrease compared to June 30, 2020 when the Company had 43 consumer loans totaling $10.1 million. Furthermore, three mortgage loans serviced for FHLMC totaling $916,000 were approved for payment deferrals. These modifications were not classified as TDRs in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act and subsequent bank regulatory guidance.

The primary method of relief granted by the Company has been to allow the borrower to defer their loan payments for up to 90 days with a possibility depending on economic conditions to defer their loan payments for an additional 90 days subject to an evaluation by the Company prior to granting the additional 90 day deferral. After the deferral period, normal loan payments will continue, however, payments will be applied first to interest until the deferred interest is repaid and thereafter applied to both principal and interest with any deficiency in amortized principal payments added to the balloon payment due at maturity. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our customers through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Branch Operations and Additional Customer Support – We have taken various steps to ensure the safety of our customers and our personnel. Many of our employees are working remotely or have flexible work schedules, and we have established measures within our offices to help ensure the safety of those employees who must work on-site.

Operating Strategy

Fiscal year 20202021 marks the 9798th anniversary since the Bank began operations in 1923. The primary business strategy of the Company is to provide comprehensive banking and related financial services within its primary market area. The historical emphasis had been on residential real estate lending. Since 1998, however, the Company has been diversifying its loan portfolio through the expansion of its commercial and construction loan portfolios. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, commercial and construction loans represented 90.0%92.3% of total loans compared to 89.5%90.4% at March 31, 2019.2020. Commercial lending, including commercial real estate loans, typically has higher credit risk, greater interest margins and shorter terms than residential lending which can increase the loan portfolio's profitability.

The Company’s goal is to deliver returns to shareholders by increasing higher-yielding assets (in particular, commercial real estate and commercial business loans), increasing core deposit balances, managing problem assets, reducing expenses, hiring experienced employees with a commercial lending focus and exploring expansion opportunities. The Company seeks to achieve these results by focusing on the following objectives:

Execution of our Business Plan. The Company is focused on increasing its loan portfolio, especially higher yielding commercial and construction loans, and its core deposits by expanding its customer base throughout its primary market areas. By emphasizing total relationship banking, the Company intends to deepen the relationships with its customers and increase individual customer profitability through cross-marketing programs, which allows the Company to better identify lending opportunities and services for customers. To build its core deposit base, the Company will continue to utilize additional product offerings, technology and a focus on customer service in working toward this goal. The Company will also continue to seek to expand its franchise through de novo branches, the selective acquisition of individual branches, loan purchases and whole bank transactions that meet its investment and market objectives. In this regard, the Company moved to a new, more modern branch in Camas in June 2020 and the Cascade Park neighborhood of Vancouver in September 2020 and will open one additional new branch location in Ridgefield in early 2021.

Maintaining Strong Asset Quality. The Company believes that strong asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. The Company has actively managed delinquent loans and nonperforming assets by aggressively pursuing the collection of consumer debts, marketing saleable properties upon foreclosure or repossession, and through work-outs of classified assets and loan charge-offs. As a result of these effortsThe Company’s approach to credit management uses well defined policies and procedures and disciplined underwriting criteria resulting in its asset quality and credit metrics remaining steady during the application of more stringent underwriting practices overCOVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to proactively monitor modified loans and other loans considered to be at heightened risk due to the last several years, the percentage of nonperforming loansCOVID-19 pandemic and has added to total loans was reduced to 0.17% at December 31, 2019 compared to 0.92% at March 31, 2015. Although theits allowance for loan losses for probable COVID-19 pandemic related credit weakness. Regardless, there may be added pressures on asset quality in future quarters that may require additional provision for loan losses. The Company also intends to continue prudently increaseincreasing the percentage of its assets consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate, real estate construction and commercial business loans, which offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, the Company intends to managewhile managing its credit exposure through the use of experienced bankers in these areas and a conservative approach to its lending.

Implementation of a Profit Improvement Plan (“PIP”). The Company’s PIP committee is comprised of several members of management and the Board of Directors with the purpose of undertaking several initiatives to reduce non-interest expense and continue on-going efforts to identify cost saving opportunities throughout all aspects of the Company’s operations. The PIP committee’s mission is not only to find additional cost saving opportunities but also to search for and implement revenue enhancements and additional areas for improvement. As a result, the Company has improved its efficiency ratio over the last several years from 98.0% at March 31, 2014 to 62.2%63.4% at December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020.

The Company offers personal checking, savings and money-market accounts, which generally are lower-cost sources of funds than certificates of deposit and are less likely to be withdrawn when interest rates fluctuate. To build its core deposit base, the Company has sought to reduce its dependence on traditional higher cost deposits in favor of stable lower cost core deposits to fund loan growth and decrease its reliance on other wholesale funding sources, including FHLB and FRB advances. The Company believes that its continued focus on building customer relationships will help to increase the level of core deposits and locally-based retail certificates of deposit. In addition, the Company intends to increase demand deposits by growing business banking relationships through expanded product lines tailored to meet its target business customers’ needs. The Company maintains technology-based products to encourage the growth of lower cost deposits, such as personal financial management, business cash management, and business remote deposit products, that enable it to meet its customers’ cash management needs and compete effectively with banks of all sizes. Core branch deposits (comprised of all demand, savings, interest checking accounts and all time deposits excluding wholesale-brokered deposits, trust account deposits, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (“IOLTA”), public funds, and internet based deposits) increased $58.6$204.7 million at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 compared to March 31, 20192020 reflecting the Company’s commitment to increasing core deposits through organic growth in customer relationships versus relying on wholesale funding.funding as well as deposits generated from SBA PPP loans, government stimulus checks being deposited directly into customer accounts and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19.

Recruiting and Retaining Highly Competent Personnel With a Focus on Commercial Lending. The Company’s ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals with strong community relationships and significant knowledge of its markets will be a key to its success. The Company believes that it enhances its market position and adds profitable growth opportunities by focusing on hiring and retaining experienced bankers focused on owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial lending, and the deposit balances that accompany these relationships. The Company emphasizes to its employees the importance of delivering exemplary customer service and seeking opportunities to build further relationships with its customers. The goal is to compete with other financial service providers by relying on the strength of the Company’s customer service and relationship banking approach. The Company believes that one of its strengths is that its employees are also shareholders through the Company’s employee stock ownership (“ESOP”) and 401(k) plans.

In addition to the minimum common equity tier 1 (“CET1”), Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. The capital conservation buffer is required to be an amount greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Bank’s CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer at an amount greater than 2.5%.

For a savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis. The Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If the Company was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies at December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

At periodic intervals, the OCC and the FDIC routinely examine the Bank’s financial condition and risk management processes as part of their legally prescribed oversight. Based on their examinations, these regulators can direct that the Company’s consolidated financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. A future examination by the OCC or the FDIC could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in the Company’s 20192021 consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is essential to our business. The objective of the Bank’s liquidity management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the Bank’s liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships with local consumer and business clients who maintain multiple accounts and services at the Bank.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Company's management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits and (v) its asset/liability management program objectives. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional diversified and reliable sources of funds with the FHLB, the FRB and other wholesale facilities. These sources of funds may be used on a long or short-term basis to compensate for a reduction in other sources of funds or on a long-term basis to support lending activities.

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayment of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However, depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition, economic or market situations or other unforeseen circumstances, which could have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational actions.

The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations, deposit withdrawals and continuing operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. During the ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Bank used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit held for investment and available for sale investment securities totaled $218.1$364.5 million, or 18.4%25.6% of total assets. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, its primary liquidity management practice is to increase or decreasemanage short-term borrowings, including FRB borrowings and FHLB advances.advances consistent with its asset/liability objectives. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Bank had no advances from the FRB and hadmaintains a credit facility with the FRB with available borrowing capacity of $58.7$60.3 million, from the FRB, subject to sufficient collateral. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, FHLB advances totaled $30.0 million and the Bank had no advances from the FHLB and had an available borrowing capacity of $217.3$205.2 million, from the FHLB, subject to sufficient collateral and stock investment. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Bank had sufficient unpledged collateral to allow it to utilize its available borrowing capacity from the FRB and the FHLB. Borrowing capacity may, however, fluctuate based on acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at their discretion. Additionally, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System recently established the PPPLF to bolster the effectiveness of the SBA PPP. The Bank may utilize the PPPLF pursuant to approval from the FRB to which the Bank would pledge SBA PPP loans at face value as collateral to obtain FRB non-recourse. As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had not sought approval to utilize PPPLF as it held a substantial cash and cash equivalent position as a result of SBA PPP disbursed funds remaining unused in borrower deposit accounts and due to deposit customers increasing their balances due to COVID-19.

An additional source of wholesale funding includes brokered certificates of deposit. While the Company has utilized brokered deposits from time to time, the Company historically has not extensively relied on brokered deposits to fund its operations. At December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, the Bank had no wholesale brokered deposits. The Bank also participates in the CDARS and ICS deposit products, which allow the Company to accept deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit for that depositor and obtain “pass-through” insurance for the total deposit. The Bank’s CDARS and ICS balances were $6.7$18.2 million, or 0.68%1.5% of total deposits, and $14.5$5.3 million, or 1.6%0.01% of total deposits, at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively. In addition, the Bank is enrolled in an internet deposit listing service. Under this listing service, the Bank may post time deposit rates on an internet site where institutional investors have the ability to deposit funds with the Bank. At December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, the Company had no deposits through this listing service. Although the Company did not originate any internet basedinternet-based deposits during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company may do so in the future consistent with its asset/liability objectives. The combination of all the Bank’s funding sources gives the Bank available liquidity of $676.4$843.7 million, or 57.1%59.2% of total assets at December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020.

At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had total commitments of $155.8$162.6 million, which includes commitments to extend credit of $27.2$39.3 million, unused lines of credit totaling $88.8$110.0 million, undisbursed construction loans totaling $37.7$11.3 million, and standby letters of credit totaling $2.1 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 totaled $67.7$83.7 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. Offsetting these cash outflows are scheduled loan maturities of less than one year totaling $51.2$43.5 million at December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020.

Riverview Bancorp, Inc., as a separate legal entity from the Bank, must provide for its own liquidity. Sources of capital and liquidity for Riverview Bancorp, Inc. include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory notice. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. had $6.3$9.3 million in cash to meet its liquidity needs.

Nonperforming assets, consisting of nonperforming loans were $1.5$1.3 million or 0.13%0.09% of total assets at both December 31, 2019 andSeptember 30, 2020 compared with $1.4 million or 0.12% of total assets at March 31, 2019. 2020.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s nonperforming loans at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

The allowance for loan losses was $11.4$18.9 million or 1.29%1.93% of total loans at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 compared to $11.5$12.6 million or 1.31%1.38% of total loans at March 31, 2019.2020. The balance of the allowanceCompany recorded a provision for loan losses at December 31, 2019 reflectsof $6.3 million for the lower levels of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, low levels of net charge offs, as well as stable real estate values in our market areas. The Company recordedsix months ended September 30, 2020. There was no provision for loan losses for the ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2019. The Company recorded a $50,000 provisionincrease in the allowance for loan losses was necessary due to the evolving uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, and its adverse economic effect on the respective industry exposures within our loan portfolio. The $110.8 million balance of SBA PPP loans were omitted from the calculation of the required allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 as these loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and management expects that a majority of SBA PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations from the SBA, which in turn, the SBA will reimburse the Bank for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.amount forgiven.

The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 753.66%1479.69% at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 compared to 754.25%904.95% at March 31, 2019.2020. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company identified $1.2$1.1 million or 78.35%88.93% of its nonperforming loans as impaired and performed a specific valuation analysis on each loan resulting in no specific reserves being required for these impaired loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, and the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. However, a decline in national and local economic conditions (including declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic), results of examinations by the Company’s regulators, or other factors could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses will be adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate or should collateral values decline as a result of the factors discussed elsewhere in this document. For further information regarding the Company’s impaired loans and allowance for loan losses, see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, and/or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk.

TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, when a loan is deemed to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured using discounted cash flows usingand the original note rate, except when the loan is collateral dependent. In these cases, the estimated fair value of the collateral (less any selling costs, if applicable) is used. Impairment is recognized as a specific component within the allowance for loan losses if the estimated value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. All of the Company’s TDRs were paying as agreed at December 31, 2019 with the exception ofSeptember 30, 2020 except for one commercial real estate loan totaling $851,000 which is classified as nonaccrual.$851,000. The related amount of interest income recognized on TDRs was $166,000$110,000 and $151,000$112,000 for the ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.

The Company has determined that, in certain circumstances, it is appropriate to split a loan into multiple notes. This typically includes a nonperforming charged-off loan that is not supported by the cash flow of the relationship and a performing loan that is supported by the cash flow. These may also be split into multiple notes to align portions of the loan balance with the various sources of repayment when more than one exists. Generally, the new loans are restructured based on customary underwriting standards. In situations where they are not, the policy exception qualifies as a concession, and if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the loans are accounted for as TDRs.

For additional information regarding loan modifications related to COVID-19 that are not deemed TDRs pursuant to the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance see “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19-Loan Modifications, discussed above.”

The accrual status of a loan may change after it has been classified as a TDR. The Company’s general policy related to TDRs is to perform a credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower’s sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period of time. A sustained period of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of ninesix months and may include repayments made prior to the restructuring date. If repayment of principal and interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status.

Other loans of concern, which are classified as substandard loans and are not presently included in the non-accrual category, consist of loans where the borrowers have cash flow problems, or the collateral securing the respective loans may be inadequate. In either or both of these situations, the borrowers may be unable to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and the loans may subsequently be included in the non-accrual category. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover the probable losses inherent in these and other loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises. Commitments generally relate to lending operations.

The Company has obligations under long-term operating and capital leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover five-year periods, with options to extend, and are not subject to cancellation.

The Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash

requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed but committed to construction projects and home equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

Goodwill Valuation

Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company’s goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit. The Company performs an annual review in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and additional analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge for the difference.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse action or assessment by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


34

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2019. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation of corporate value approach, the income approach and the market approach in order to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The allocation of corporate value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it among the reporting units. A key assumption in this approach is the control premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest is generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used an expected control premium of 30%, which was based on comparable transactional history. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that are discounted using a rate that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest margins and cash expenditures. Assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included an annual revenue growth rate that approximated 5.3%, a net interest margin that approximated 4.0% and a return on assets that ranged from 1.24% to 1.34% (average of 1.29%). In addition to utilizing the above projections of estimated operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate under the income approach were the discount rate of 15.54% utilized for our cash flow estimates and a terminal value estimated at 1.43 times the ending book value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing the discount rate that included: an assessment of the risk free interest rate, the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks, the industry the Company operates in and the size of the Company. The market approach estimates fair value by applying tangible book value multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting unit. In applying the market approach method, the Company selected four publicly traded comparable institutions. After selecting comparable institutions, the Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit by completing a comparative analysis of the relationship between their financial metrics listed above and their market values utilizing a market multiple of 1.1 times tangible book value. The Company calculated a fair value of its reporting unit of $217.0 million using the corporate value approach, $170.0 million using the income approach and $253.0 million using the market approach, with a final concluded value of $216.0 million, with equal weight given to the corporate value approach and market approach and slightly less weight given to the income approach. The results of the Company’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value and therefore no impairment of goodwill exists.

Even though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment, a sustained decline in the value of its stock price as well as values of other financial institutions, declines in revenue for the Company beyond our current forecasts, significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the financial industry or an increase in the value of our assets without an increase in the value of the reporting unit may result in a future impairment charge.

It is possible that changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected; however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.

As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the financial markets and economy, the Company completed a qualitative assessment of goodwill and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Bank (the reporting unit), exceeds its carrying value at September 30, 2020. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in the Company’s common stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were sustained in the future rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of the reporting unit and may trigger future goodwill impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. However, such an impairment would not impact the Company’s liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and NineSix Months Ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018

Net Income. Net income was $4.1$2.5 million, or $0.18$0.11 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, compared to $4.4$4.5 million, or $0.19$0.20 per diluted share for same prior year period. Net income for the ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was $12.9$3.0 million, or $0.57$0.14 per diluted share, and $13.1$8.7 million, or $0.58$0.38 per diluted share, respectively. The Company’s earningsnet income decreased primarily as a result of the increased provision for loan losses of $1.8 million and $6.3 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, comparedrespectively, in addition to the same prior year periods decreased; however, increasesa decrease in both interest and non-interest income werewhich was partially offset by increases in interest expense compared to the respective prior year periods. Additionally, a one-time $355,000 gain on sale of land and building, which occurred in December 2018 and recordeddecrease in non-interest expense, related to our Longview branch closure was not present in the current three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2019.expense.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. When the rate earned on interest-earning assets equals or exceeds the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, this positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.

Net interest income for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 was $11.5$11.1 million and $34.7$22.2 million, respectively, representing a $241,000$655,000 and $500,000$997,000 decrease, respectively, compared to the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018.September 30, 2019. The net interest margin for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 was 4.23%3.33% and 4.31%3.48%, respectively, compared to 4.41%4.36% and 4.42%4.35% for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018.September 30, 2019. These decreases in the net interest margin were due primarily to increasesthe result of the low interest rate environment putting downward pressure on adjustable rate instruments combined with the impact of the low loan yields on the SBA PPP loan portfolio causing a decrease in the cost of totalaverage yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by the decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing deposits.liabilities. The decreases were also due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate changes.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 was $12.8$11.9 million and $38.2$24.2 million, respectively, compared to $12.4$12.9 million and $37.1$25.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The increasedecrease for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due primarily to an increase inthe 120 basis point decrease on interest earning assets to 3.60% compared to 4.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was due primarily to the 97 basis point decrease on loans receivableinterest earning assets to 3.80% compared to 4.77% for the six months ended September 30, 2019. Interest and dividend income included $760,000 and $1.4 million of $517,000interest income and $1.9 millionfees earned related to SBA PPP loans for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, due primarilySeptember 30, 2020, respectively. There was no interest income and fees related to higher average balances of netSBA PPP loans partially offset by a decrease in interest on investment securities of $269,000 and $845,000, respectively, for the same prior year periods due primarily to lower average balances on investment securities.three and six months ended September 30, 2019.

The average balance of net loans increased $24.3$94.5 million and $46.1$101.9 million to $878.7$983.7 million and $881.8$985.3 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, respectively, from $854.4$889.2 million and $835.7$883.4 million for the same period in the prior year periods.due to SBA PPP loans. Although the average balance of loans increased, the average yield on net loans decreased and was 4.58% and 4.63%, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 5.32% and 5.31% for the same three and six month periods in the prior year, respectively, due primarily to the decreases in short-term rates over the last year, including the emergency 150 basis point reduction in the targeted federal funds rate in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and secondarily due to the impact of SBA PPP loans. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, the average balance of SBA PPP loans was $110.6 million and $97.8 million,

respectively. The average yield was 2.73% and 2.91% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which included the recognition of the net deferred fees. This resulted in a negative impact to the average loan yield on net loans of 23 basis points and 19 basis points during the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The impact of SBA PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met. This decrease in the average yield on net loans was 5.30%the primary reason for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 5.19% and 5.28% for the same three and nine month periods in the prior year, respectively. The average yield on net loans was negatively impacted by a 25 basis pointoverall decrease in the targeted Fed Funds Rate in the current quarter.interest and dividend income.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $618,000decreased $278,000 and $1.6 million$254,000 to $1.3 million$885,000 and $3.5$2.0 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $656,000$1.2 million and $1.9$2.2 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.33% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively,September 30, 2020, compared to the same prior year periods. In addition, interest expense0.40% for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2019 increased compared to the same period last year due to the increase in the Company’s utilization of FHLB advances for its funding needs.September 30, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits increased to 0.54% and 0.39% for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, from 0.14% and 0.15%September 30, 2020, compared to 0.31% for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. TheSeptember 30, 2019 due primarily to the increase in the weighted average interest rate on regular savings accounts and certificates of deposit primarily contributeddue to the overall increasepricing pressures and competition in the expense related to interest-bearing deposits, reflecting increased deposit rates to remain competitive in the Company’s market area.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $27.6 million forour local markets. For the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. Offsetting the increase in the average balance of interest-bearingSeptember 30, 2020, interest expense for deposits was a decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances of $9.0 million to zero for the three months ended December 31, 2019remained relatively unchanged compared to the same prior year period as no FHLB advances were utilized duringthe decrease in the weighted average interest rate offset the overall increase in weighted average deposit balances. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, interest expense for deposits increased due to the overall increase in both the weighted average balance and weighted average interest rate. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $140.2 million and $128.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year due primarily to proceeds from SBA PPP loans deposited directly into customer accounts, government stimulus checks and an increase in savings trends and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $275,000 and $758,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The weighted average interest rate on FHLB advances was zeroother interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.53% and 1.75% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 3.72% and 3.53% for the same three and six month periods in the prior year.

The overall increaseaverage balance of other interest-bearing liabilities decreased to $54.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $70.1 million for the same six month period in the prior year. Overall, total interest expense decreased as a result of the decrease in the weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits contributed to the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.70% for the three and six months ended December 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, compared to 0.37% for the same prior year period.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $18.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits were offset by the utilization of FHLB advances which increased the average balance of FHLB advances $23.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same prior year period. The average balance of FHLB advances was $27.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $4.3 million for the same prior year period. The average interest rate on FHLB advances was 2.54% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2.39% for the same prior year period. The overall increase in weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits and the utilization of FHLB advances to supplement the decrease in average interest-bearing deposits contributed significantly to the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.65% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.35% for the same prior year period.respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio consistent with GAAP guidelines. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated monthly to maintain the allowance at levels sufficient to provide for inherent losses existing at the balance sheet date. The key components to the evaluation are the Company’s internal loan review function by its credit administration, which reviews and monitors the risk and quality of the loan portfolio; as well as the Company’s external loan reviews and its loan classification systems. Credit officers are expected to monitor their portfolios and make recommendations to change loan grades whenever changes are warranted. Credit administration approves any changes to loan grades and monitors loan grades.

In accordance with GAAP, loans acquired from MBank during the purchase and assumption transaction of MBank (“MBank transaction”)fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loans’ contractual amounts, of which a portion reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value, and, as a result, no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. However, we believe it should be considered when comparing certain financial ratios of the Company calculated in periods after the MBank transaction, compared to the same financial ratios of the Company in periods prior to the MBank transaction. The net discount on these acquired loans was $871,000 and $1.1 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

ThereThe provision for loan losses was $1.8 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to no provision for loan losses for both the ninethree and six months ended December 31, 2019, compared to a provision for loan losses of $50,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.September 30, 2019. The lack of a provision for loan losses for the ninethree and six months ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018 wasSeptember 30, 2020 is based primarily upon the low level of charge-offs, recoveries of previously charged off loans, decline in classified loansevolving uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and stable real estate values inits adverse economic effect on the respective industry exposures within our market areas.loan portfolio.

Net charge-offs totaled $10,000 and $58,000 for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $3,000September 30, 2020, respectively compared to $6,000 and $24,000, respectively. This compares to net charge-offs of $11,000 and net recoveries of $686,000$21,000 for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

September 30, 2019. Annualized net charge-offs to average net loans were not meaningful for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and nine monthwas 0.01% for the six months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same prior year periods, ended December 31, 2019 waswhich were not meaningful. Annualized net charge-offs to average net loans for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2018 was 0.01% and (0.11)%, respectively. Nonperforming loans were $1.3 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2018.September 30, 2019. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 753.66%1479.69% at December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 compared to 713.52%770.10% at December 31, 2018. Classified loans decreased to $3.1 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2018. The classified asset to total capital ratio was 2.1% at December 31, 2019 compared to 4.4% a year earlier.September 30, 2019. See “Asset Quality” above for additional information related to asset quality that management considers in determining the provision for loan losses.

Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each loan. As of December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had identified $5.3 million of impaired loans. Because the significant majority of the impaired loans are collateral dependent, nearly all of the specific allowances are calculated based on the estimated fair value of the collateral. Of those impaired loans, $5.1$5.2 million have no specific valuation allowance as their estimated collateral value is equal to or exceeds the carrying costs, which in some cases is the result of previous loan charge-offs. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, charge-offs on these impaired loans totaled $460,000 from their original loan balances. The remaining $141,000$130,000 of impaired loans hadhas specific valuation allowances totaling $8,000$10,000 at December 31, 2019.September 30, 2020.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $434,000decreased $350,000 and $1.0 million$863,000 to $3.2$2.8 million and $9.5$5.4 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The increasedecrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the decrease in fees and service charges of $89,000 and $328,000 for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, respectively, compared the same periods in the prior year reflecting primarily from a decrease in transactions due to a change in customer spending habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the decrease in asset management fees of $207,000 and $376,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of the current economic conditions and overall stock market performance. Furthermore, net gains on sales of loans held for sale decreased $46,000 and $114,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year as the Company has transitioned to a model where mortgage loan originations are brokered to various third-party mortgage companies.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $167,000 and $676,000 to $8.8 million and $17.5 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in non-interest expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same prior year periods was primarily due to the increases in fees and service charges of $203,000 and $506,000, respectively, in addition to increases in asset management fees of $201,000 and $565,000, respectively, reflecting the increase in the Trust Company’s assets under management. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net gains on sales of loans held for sale of $14,000 and $68,000, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $445,000 and $708,000 to $9.2 million and $27.4 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, compared to the same prior year periods was primarily due to increasesa decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $147,000$318,000 and $698,000,$841,000, respectively, and data processing expense of $16,000 and $112,000, respectively, due to additional staffingwhich is mainly attributable to the overall growthloan origination cost offset related to the origination of the CompanySBA PPP loans and the Company’s focus to manage controllable costs such as salaries and employee benefits. In addition, advertising and marketing expenses decreased $188,000 and $269,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, primarily due to reduced opportunities for community sponsorships and cancellations of sponsored events due to COVID-19 restrictions. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in FDIC insurance premiums of $84,000 and $52,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as assessments returned to normal levels. The Bank utilized its remaining FDIC credits for previously paid deposit insurance premiums to partially offset current assessments in the prior quarter. In addition, occupancy and depreciation expense increased $180,000 and $310,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to continued investments into enhancing our information technology infrastructure including investments in our digital product offerings. In addition, other non-interest expense increased $369,000 and $222,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively,technology expenditures incurred as a result of a $355,000 gain on sale of land and building, which occurred in December 2018, related to our Longview branch closure. These increases were offset by decreases in professional fees of $182,000 and $265,000 and FDIC insurance premiums of $85,000 and $165,000 foremployees working from home during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. The decrease in FDIC insurance premium expense is attributable to credits for previously paid deposit insurance premiums which were a result of the FDIC exceeding its stated Deposit Insurance Fund Reserve Ratio. The Company has $122,000 in credits on future assessments remaining as of December 31, 2019, which may be recognized in future periods when allowed for by the FDIC upon insurance fund levels being met.COVID-19 pandemic.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $1.3$704,000 and $790,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $3.9$2.6 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, compareddue to $1.3lower pre-tax income. Income before income taxes was $3.2 million and $3.8 million for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018,September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods of $5.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 was 23.7%21.7% and 23.0%20.7%, respectively, compared to 22.5%23.0% and 22.4%$22.8% for the three and ninesix months ended December 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to investments in tax-exempt bank owned life insurance. As of December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, management deemed that a valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax asset was not necessary. At December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $3.4$3.1 million compared to $4.2$3.3 million at March 31, 2019.2020.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the 20192020 Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as in effect on December 31, 2019September 30, 2020 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In the quarter ended December 31, 2019,September 30, 2020, the Company did not make any changes in its internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.

While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.controls. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements attributable to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
